Environmental Education
The Pine Hollow Arboretum currently provides many science-oriented educational opportunities for the community. The unique forest environment of trees, shrubs, and plants found at Pine Hollow Arboretum presents a novel “living laboratory” to observe many ecological concepts at work. As we move forward, we hope to be the host site of research studies that contribute relevant information to the fields of horticulture, plant conservation, climate studies, forestry, and ecology.
Current science-oriented programs at Pine Hollow include:
- Hands-on Environmental Education for Elementary Students
- Environmental Leadership Training for High School Students
- Ash Tree Survival Initiative
- Outreach Workshops on Emerging and Established Invasive Species
- Hybrid Oak Plantings Monitored by Cornell University
- 10 Minute- Field Trips. Check some out here!
